Japanese Iris (Mixed) — Some time ago, a specialist and hybridizer

 added other good varieties of which the labels had become lost in the 

 nursery. The entire lot is offered to you in this mixture — a truly 

 superb combination of the finest blood. These mixed Japanese Iris 

 should not be confused with the usual or ordinary Japanese Iris that 

 are sent out. Splendid strong, roots, each, 20c; dozen, ^2.00; 100,
